Hello all, Thank you for all the helpful and patient comments so far!
The summary of the state of affairs: There is progress in understanding the issue which seems to be firewall-related. Do you agree with this assessment (diagnostics see below)? How can I remedy it? Here is what I did, combining comments in messages https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2012-January/037451.html and https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2012-January/037452.html : * as root with firewall on ('/sbin/SuSEfirewall2 start'): :~ # rcopenafs-client start redirecting to systemctl :~ # /usr/bin/fs listcells -n | grep employer_domain Cell employer_domain on hosts employer_server. :~ # /usr/bin/fs checkservers [...after a while...] All servers are running. :~ # ping employer_server PING employer_server (employer_server) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from employer_server: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.233 ms [...] --- employer_server ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3000ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.233/0.262/0.273/0.016 ms :~ # rxdebug employer_server 7003 -version -long Trying employer_server (port 7003): [...after a while...] get version call failed with code -1, errno 0 * as root with firewall off ('/sbin/SuSEfirewall2 stop'): [...] :~ # /usr/bin/fs checkservers [...immediately!...] All servers are running. :~ # rxdebug employer_server 7003 -version -long Trying employer_server (port 7003): [...immediately!...] AFS version: OpenAFS 1.4.14 built 2011-02-23 * as user: :~ > klog.krb5 Password for user_name@employer_domain: [...immediately - no further output!...] :~ > /bin/ls -go /afs/employer_domain/home/user_name/helloworld -rw-r--r-- 1 0 Jan 6 18:02 /afs/employer_domain/home/user_name/helloworld I see in Yast2 - Security and Users - Firewall - Allowed Services: Secure Shell Server and xntp Server. The output of 'iptables -L' is longish, so for the time being I am not posting it here. In the output I do see lines which relate to 'ssh' and 'ntp', yet nothing about 'afs'.
